One
raison d'etre for May came
from a consideration of the
needs of our Korean fans.
In addition to that, Eolith,
a sponsor at the time, expressed
their desire for a character
like a "Korean Athena."
This request asked for an
"idol-like visual fighter,"
or something along that line,
and we recall that it really
threw us for a loop.
Through trial and error,
we arrived at a character
that was a long way from
the original concept, but
with this process May Lee,
the perky tae kwon do fighter
for justice, was born.
We got her name from the
person who was in charge
of Eolith (Eolith Co., Ltd.)
at the time.
